What does "Previous preorders" mean on rakuten? For example: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/2nd/item/dw-remen-pachina/

[pudaspriest]

Pretty sure it just means that they were a pre-order but now the remaining stock is for sale. I have bought quite a few things from 2nd that said previous pre-order and they just sent it out the next day.

Good to hear thanks!

Can anyone tell me how much Hinoya charges for shipping to the EU?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I assume they use EMS Japan. You can check the shipping rates on their homepage. It's based on weight.

I think it depends on what item you're getting such as a tshirt vs shoes etc shipping price. You could ask them to give you an estimate in case you're worried about customs charges.

Anyone know a place with a Union Special in Phoenix, AZ where I can get my Samurai hemmed?

I'm looking for a recommendation for some japanese raw denim that fits similar to my Nudie Lean Deans (size 32/34).

I have been unlucky with 2 purchases so far. The first were Japan Blue 0304z (size 31) which I found were too wide in the thigh and leg. The second was an Oni 512idid (size 32 one wash) which i found the rise too small, but the thighs and legs a little too big.

Do any of you have any denim suggestions? I'm basically after something that matches the fit of my nudies.

Basically im after a tight jean with a normal rise.

 

[alvin_cheong]

not too sure how lean jeans fit, but maybe you could look into eternal or sda jeans.

SDA 107 and eternal 811 I guess.

Has anyone happen to DIY line their type3 jackets??

Would love to line mine but curious to know if anyone could share any experiences!

[mr.invincible]

havent bought jeans for so long and havent checked up on how to acquire jeans.

originally i came across denimio and thought, wow, so much has changed and was going to buy some ONI's from there. the model i wanted was out of stock unfortunately-  huge bummer.

where else can i get Oni's/samurais without going through a proxy? 

trying to avoid BiG/selfedge for now. 

[pudaspriest]

You can get samurai's from 2nd and oni from rodeo bros, both in rakuten

[LQW]

Anyone used Buyee before? They're a proxy for Yahoo Auctions. I know some people here have used Sutocorp. Any preferences?

[Iron Horse]

Buyee is very easy to use; can't remember who takes a bigger cut though.

Back in my Rock'n'Roll days i lined a few jackets/vest and let me tell yah its a pain in the ass if you have no type of textile cutting/forming experience ( i used sweater fabric sewn with dental floss) What ended up happening is that the stitching to sew in the fabric would pinch and bunch up the fabric and you would have the jacket sitting weird, Also you have to remember if you are lining the jacket with thick material you will lose that extra wiggle room ( if you sized tts this can be an issue). I would say upsize your type 3 to fit a sweater underneath, IF the type 3 is too long just get it tailored. ALSO REMEBER LINER KEEPS IN BODY HEAT, If you like wearing your jacket on cool summer days it can be an issue as the liner will act as insulation.

QUESTION:

Will Chinos stretch around the waist line? 

[snuff_daddy]

What reliable company can I mail my Flathead BSPs to get tapered?

[Lendo]

Railcar does a fantastic job.

[serotonin flood]

Second railcar for tapering.  And for chinos, a pair that I had during a weight gain phase, the thread that held the button stretched out instead of the waistband so theres that...

How do flag something to the Mods?

[shoreman]

Some check their inboxes more frequently than others. Might be your best bet if you'd like to bring something to their attention.

 

I've had good experiences with @denimdestroyedmylife and @ordo

Anyone from the U.S. want to act as a proxy for me to the UK? 

Thanks

I've noticed a lot of brands have a black label with gold/yellow script writing (like Mister Freedom Sportsman, Stevenson Overall Company off top) and was wondering if there was an original that these are based on.
